Long cherished by science-fiction fans for its heart, ambition, and outsider heroism, The Last Starfighter returns in a format that honors its legacy while making it newly accessible to today’s readers. Mad Cave Studios presents The Last Starfighter Movie Adaptation, a newly collected paperback edition of the original three-issue comic adaptation of the cult-classic film. 

In 1984, The Last Starfighter thrilled movie-goers all over, and for comic book readers hungry for more science fiction, it was a revelation. Now the three-part comic adaptation of the beloved film gets new life in an exclusive collection! 

The project, led by the original screenwriter Jonathan Betuel and producer Paul Davidson, is an exclusive 80-page edition, featuring an all-star cast of creators with a story by Bill Mantlo, art by Bret Blevins and Tony Salmons, colors by Christie Scheele, and lettering by Rick Parker, with original covers by the late Jackson Guice. Together, this creative team delivers a faithful and heartfelt adaptation that captures what made The Last Starfighter endure: a sense of wonder, its unlikely hero, and its belief that courage can come from anywhere!
